It is (almost) nine years. Had my checkup with the cardio, reviewed results from the MRI. My little piggy Valve looks great, just as good as when it was put in. We are now going from every one and half years for my checkups to once every two years. Plus I continue to be completely medication...

Hey Folks, I know I haven't posted much but I still read what is going on. I just got the kids a GoPro HD Hero2 and we have been having some fun with it. I posted a short video on youtube (less than one minute) riding behind my son. The darn dog wouldn't get out of my way so my son got a little...

Just went to my cardio for the annual checkup. Some good news some bad. My tissue valve looks great, no signs of any leaks or stenosis. Heart function is good, my EF is still holding on at 50%. The MRI w/contrast did show my ascending aorta at 4.8cm now, so it continues to grow. He wants to...

A friend of my wife has a hole in her heart (no further information) and right sided enlargement, wanted to find a surgeon that she could see for a second opinion. Thanks.

Yesterday was three years. It has been good thus far. I only think about that day occasionally, life at this point has returned to normal. I do well in the mountain bike races I enter, no podiums yet but I just don?t have enough time to put in the training required to improve my performance. I...

Spoke with my Uncle last night, they have received confirmation of the ALS diagnoses. They give my Aunt 3 to 5 years. We were really hoping for a different result. Don't know what else to say.

Just went on vacation to visit my Aunt and Uncle in DC for spring break. I knew my Aunt had not been feeling well and they told me that right now it appears she may have ALS. Final diagnosis has not yet been made so we are hoping it is something else. Unfortunately the specialist she needs to...

I received the results from my MRI yesterday and have an appointment with the orthopaedist today. I was told I have a tear in a disc. Woohoo, how exciting. sigh - scheduled the appointment for the afternoon and I am going for a 5 hour ride in the morning.

Here is the question: I went to the GP for chronic lower back and leg pain, since the heart stuff is all under control and nothing more then the memory of a bad dream I decided to get it checked. She wants me to go for an MRI this Friday, she suspects a disc injury. I am already scheduled for my...

Blatantly stolen from another site. A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where they spent their honeymoon 20 years before. Because of their hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their...

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776 The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate...

Well 6/7 was two years with the upgrade parts for my OEM Aortic valve. My quest for an attorney to bring a class action lawsuit against God for defective equipment has proved fruitless. :rolleyes::p I continue to improve, and I am now doing things I hadn?t thought I would. I did my first...

My first Adventure Race... And it was a complete blast. I do feel a bit guilty though for wishing I had been with a stronger team. But it did feel really good being the strongest member and not the weakest. Results and pictures haven't been posted yet so I will add those when they are. I got...

Saturday: Race day. The forecast was for 70% chance of showers and thunderstorms. But I played my ace and it worked, on Friday I put fertilizer on my lawn, that always guarantees two weeks of dry weather, this was no exception. I got to the race venue at about 7:30AM, ran into the guys I would...

Well my race season didn't get off to the start I was hoping for. The first race series was a time trial held over three months, I had to DNF the first race due to a mechanical problem and skipped the second due to weather so didn't do the third, it didn't make sense. The first endurance race of...

These Contractors are installing the steel pillars in concrete to stop vehicles from parking on the pavement outside a Sports Bar downtown. They are now in the process of cleaning up at the end of the day and eager to go home. How long do you think it will be before they...

No, it's not heart related. Of course I guess it really shouldn't go here but I was hoping one of you may be able to provide some insight. As some of you may remember back in September during a six hour endurance MTB race I got severe leg cramps, to the point I couldn't get off the bike. Ever...

This is a fun game. http://www.travelpod.com/traveler-iq Sadly I was only able to get to level 7 on my first try. Oh well. Geography was never a strong point for me. Yes I am at work and bored out of my mind. Good luck and have fun!

Last one for this week. This is in Georgia. Hint: this is the second largest tree in Georgia. It is accessed via one of the more popular mountain bike trails (that is why the wife and kids have on helmets). The tree is almost 20ft around and over 100ft high. :eek:

Change of pace, rather then a picture here is a quote. Probably too easy. "Sleep, those little slices of death, how I loathe them." So who said it?
